Lindsay’s Notes
Grilled marinated hen, tomato cucumber salad, feta, hummus, and a pepperoncini garlic butter sauce. OH BABY, I really like this recipe!
I obtained the thought for this from Sara Tane – obtained to her web site randomly by way of Threads (okay Threads! coming in clutch with recipe inspo!) and instantly knew it was going to be a banger.
This explicit grilled marinated hen is so easy (simply dry spices and olive oil) and but one way or the other so good. I truthfully assume the most important problem of this recipe is making an attempt to not eat the entire hen earlier than it makes its manner onto the plate.
And as if that wasn’t sufficient, get all of it laced up with some freshly grated garlic, melted butter, and pepperoncini brine and also you’ve obtained one killer combo.
